Comparison: motorola moto g vs jiayu s1

After comparing the Moto G with the Chinese model Jiayu G5, now it is the turn of his brother the S1. Next we will check if the Jiayu model follows or exceeds the quality line of the G5, although the qualities of its features compared to its prices are still somewhat striking, as we will see below. The Professional Review team will now be in charge of detailing its features:

First let's talk about their designs: the Moto G has dimensions of 129.9 mm high × 65.9 mm wide × 11.6 mm thick and weighs 143 grams, while the Jiayu S1 has a size 138 mm high x 69 mm wide x 9 mm thick and weighing 145 grams. In all cases the S1 outperforms the Motorola model. The Chinese model has a steel back shell, which gives it great strength and Gorilla Glass. For its part, the Moto G has two types of casing for its protection: the " Grip Shell " that surrounds the terminal and the " Flip Shell ", which encloses the device completely, but presenting the possibility of opening it from the the screen, which is protected by the glass manufactured by the Corning company, Gorilla Glass 3.

Let us now mention its ROM: the model of the Chinese brand has a 32 GB terminal for sale, expandable by micro SD card. The Moto G for its part does not present this type of feature, so we will have to opt for its 8 GB or 16 GB model.

Next, its screens: while the Moto G has an outstanding size of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, the Jiayu S1 mounts one with a IPS function of 4.9 inches and 1920 x 1080 pixels. As we mentioned above, the Motorola screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and the Jiayu by Gorilla Glass.

Now it's time for the processors: the Moto G has a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC and Adreno 305 graphics chip. The Jiayu S1 is more powerful in terms of its CPU and GPU, since they have the same manufacturer but different models such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core 1.7 GHz and Adreno 320. It also expires in RAM: 1 GB for the Moto G and 2 GB for the Jiayu S1. Its operating system is version 4.3 Jelly Bean for Motorola and version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for the Chinese model.

As for their connectivity, there is nothing to highlight, since both smartphones only have very common connections such as 3G, Bluetooth or WiFi.

The difference in its batteries is little noticeable, since the Moto G has a capacity of 2070 mAh and the Jiayu S1 2300 mAh. We can intuit that the difference between the autonomies will be appreciated little or nothing, since the Jiayu, being more powerful, will require greater consumption, although the use we give to the terminal will also be a major influence (games, video, connectivity, etc).

Cameras: The Motorola Moto G features a 5 MP sensor as its rear lens, while the Jiayu S1 is made up of a 13 MP sensor made by sony. What they do have in common is the autofocus function and an LED flash. The front lens present in the Jiayu is 2 MP, while the Moto G remains at 1.3 megapixels, both useful for making selfies or video calls.

And finally, let's talk about money: the Motorola Moto G with its 175 euros price on Amazon is an affordable phone for almost any pocket, as well as balanced in terms of value for money. The Jiayu S1 is a more powerful terminal that also comes at a very good price, 230 euros as the official starting price.
